Thanks for taking an interest. It's great to see new users on wikipedia. The information you supplied was great, but unfortunately Wikipedia does not allow cutting and pasting from other webpages because copyright may be infringed. I have therefore removed your last edit, but would be eager to see you restore the new information on Partington's history as long as you are willing to rewrite it in your own words and cite the link which supplied you with the facts at the bottom. For more information on wikipedia rules about citing sources, see Wikipedia:Citing sources. This will show you how to add footnotes and external links within the article. Please don't let this put you off, we were all new once and we all need to find our way around the rules when we first begin. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Amatire ( talk • contribs) 12:36, 2 December 2006
"The town was served by a railway station to the north of the town, the Cheshire Lines Committee Glazebrook to Stockport Tiviot Dale Line. The station was opened in 1873, eight years after the line opened, and was in use until 30 November 1964."
This isn't quite correct. The original line was much lower than the present one, with the construction of the canal an embankment was built immediately south of the old line and led to a bridge over the canal tall enough for ships to pass. The old line remained in use as a terminal - indeed even today you can still approximate the layout of the sidings as seen heading north from the old line here. The old line goes underneath the road (you can see the new road bridge, the road now is on a slightly different alignment, the old alignment was more northerly), the new one goes over it on a now closed bridge. If you look southeast and northwest you can clearly see the two lines. Have a look on www.old-maps.co.uk - it will help explain what happened. The old station is no longer visible, the one pictured is the new station. Parrot of Doom ( talk) 11:25, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

What does "Although served by buses in the day, bus services to the town at 6:30 pm" mean? Its not clear from the context.-- Jackyd101 ( talk) 02:48, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
The result of the move request was: unanimous support, will ask for the redirect to be speedily deleted (have fixed the dab page into a surname page). Kotniski ( talk) 10:50, 13 December 2010 (UTC)
